Would President Trump Abandon Israel Like He Will NATO?

America recently gave Israel a no-strings-attached gift of $38 billion over the next ten years to boost the Israeli military. This is the kind of bad deal-making that Trump routinely trashes on the campaign trail.

In tonight’s debate Donald Trump ought to be quizzed on his support for Israel.

Trump has previously suggested that if elected president he would cut funding for NATO allies in Eastern Europe—who are fearful of Russia’s current domineering foreign policy—and would instead offer mercenary-like assistance if they contributed more to their own defense spending.

Trump’s isolationist vision of American foreign policy has alarmed European nations, who have been America’s Article 5, ride-or-die NATO blood brothers for the last 70 years. But it begs the question of whether or not Trump would give Israel the same deal.

However, Trump’s cavalier attitude about foreign policy might be why Hillary Clinton is winning 61% of the Jewish vote. Another reason is probably because of the Trump campaign’s suspected anti-semitism.

In tonight’s debate about foreign policy, Fox News’ Chris Wallace ought to ask Trump how committed he is to Israel.
